One question - I'm having trouble shooting, I'm getting very weak and slow shots on the ground most of the time. What do you need to do to make stronger shots? Use pace control and then shoot or is there something else?

i use 4-3-3 with barca and i can make 1-2 pass's all day long ... with possession of 70%++ against highest teams in fifa ... i'll share my tactics soon in the career mode thread .. but not just yet :)

To be able to play with a 4-3-3 you must have fast attaquers.
For me i use the 4-2-3-1 with Strong ST and CAM. (Randon and J.Batista) and two fast LAM and RAM (Santi Cazorla ;) and Bonnanotte).
With Malaga's squad i think that it's the best strategy.
We can't talk about the best strategy but about the adapted strategy to every squad and team.

I just laughed my ass off :D

Dude it's Barcelona, the best team in the game. What's so hard playing possession football with them?! They have the best players around the globe -.-

Try to play like Barca with Stoke or the likes and then brag.

Barca-noob-kid ;)

It's all about posession and taking cpu out of it's comfort zone, u can't do tricks while defenders are looking at u, just do the tricks when the cpu players are working it's a** off, start taking 2/3 basic tricks/moves, control your pace, put your team in motion, grab empty spaces, build a passing gameplay and you'll see the light mate!

The best way to become a great player is by practise.you must try to build your own lineup,formation and tactics.that will give you more satisfaction.so practise,explore and invent.thats the best way

And I play on Full manual to boot. Must be because of the way I played PES for over decade (where tactics matter to beat opponent in tournaments) :P

Hit it with a ******* lot of power. Around 3/4 will do it. Also, if it's still bad, increase the sliders in the Settings. Shoot Speed from 50 to something like 55, or maybe even more. Both for you and for the CPU.

Its awfull, Im playing in Pro level, And it's dire, really frustrating to try and break teams down, I've tryed playing in the Airtricity league with my home town team Derry City, And it's awfull, Smaller clubs and League's will put you to sleep on FIFA 12, It was fine and enjoyable to play on Fifa 11, Just hope someone can make a FIFA 12 fixed gameplay patch.......:D

I was having the same issues, but I guess I got used to it after a while. What I can recommend is trying out the 4-2-3-1 formation (depending on the composition of the squad). I try to clamp down the passing routes when the cpu is attack and try push them towards the sidelines and/or backwards by constantly switching player. When in possession, you need to do one of two things: play direct (ie quickly moving the ball with passing up the pitch not allowing defenders time to reset) or slow it down and play possession ball (and move the defence around). One trick I take advantage of occasionally is when i have a strong and pacy striker at the 1, i'll play a pass from the ram/lam to the striker when the cb is right behind him, then turn diagonally and use pace and strength to hold off defender and create a shooting chance. But stick with it, you'll get it, even I have my bad games where i draw with severely weaker opposition. (Y)

I did get much better at it, doing much better at passing & dribbling. I'm defending fairly well too.

But I'm pretty poor at shooting. Mostly getting poor and slow shots or no shots at all because I'm marked too closely.

It's what i do.
Another usefull tips with this 4-3-2-1:
-Against strong team try containing in your 1/3 and go with fast break, with fast Am it strikes!
-With possession try to hold passing the ball on one side than change rapidelly to the other. exp : try to make a lot of passes between your CAM, LAM and ST and you will see that your RAM and RB will have a lot of space so use the lob pass.

PS : i played on pro and changed to WC and seems that with WC the gameplay is more balanced and realistic.

4-2-3-1 is about perfect. Make sure you select possession also.

This game is a lot to do with patience. I always like to break down teams by passing across the field more often. Short Passes and CB to Winger or Wing Back lobbed passes.

This I dont know how but does mess up Comp. AI and I get free space for killer through balls when I near the enemy camp. Although I dont score every time coz the keepers in FIFA 12 are grandads of Yashin and Banks.

Oh Yeah After Scoring I go 5-2-1-2 for 1 min to 30 secs. So as to make sure the charged up AI Does not get a easy one in ASAP.
